Creating Dream Garden: STONE PATH🏡 MAGIC (Step by Step)

Garden slate stone path doesn't need to be very expensive to install, especially if you plan to introduce creeping plants between the stones. Olga is showing you how she did it from start to finish. She acquired stones from the local Transfer Station, stones were free and weathered - a great bonus. Stone path is built before winter and the cycle of freezing and thawing will settle the path into its permanent position. Happy gardening!

Olga, we're in the midst of some family drama and I was awake and worrying before dawn. As I made my coffee I thought, "I need to go visit Olga in her garden. That will bring me peace." And it surely did. Bless you for sharing your garden, your gentleness, your love of nature, your creativity, your enthusiasm and your peacefulness with your gardening friends. I am so glad I am one of them. And thank you, too, to Mr. Carmody behind the camera. The music chosen for this video about your new path is simply beautiful. 🥰🥰🥰

[@OlgaCarmody]

Hi Michelle, I just read your message to my husband. Aww, thank you! I am glad that our videos bring peace and enthusiasm into the world. Take care and be well!

[@jimmshorts]

Very likeable! This is my first Olga video.

[@itsmewende]

Turned out so nice. I really like the idea of the low rustic fence, I can hear the fairies now asking if they can move in.

[@threeriversforge1997]

Mr. Carmody is a lucky man. One thing I think more gardeners would do well to have in the shed is a "trenching" shovel. When it comes to digging holes for small pots, and around established tree roots, there's really nothing better. The trenching shovel has a much narrower blade that can get between rocks and roots, and since they're 4" or 5" wide, the shovel still brings out plenty of soil with each scoop. I grew up using the traditional wide-blade spades, but hardly ever need them now that I have a trenching shovel to use around the yard.

Thank you, love the emoji!

[@capecodcottagegarden]

I have been wanting to create a garden path out of some slate I have but found the task rather daunting. You have inspired me to try it! Thanks for sharing:)

[@Taniaflowers239]

Дякую, Олю. Я мрію про такі доріжки у квітнику.

[@Laura-rx9mp]

great idea. cheers

[@madelinerivera7445]

ohhhh I just found you! I was watching Garden with Marta, from Poland and noticed your videos on the side screen. I'm so happy to see this beautiful project. You are a hard worker. Everything came out so great!! I thought you were going to make the stumps into a place to sit and rest. Anyway, Now I need to catch up on your videos. Thank you for sharing.

[@OlgaCarmody]

Wonderful! Thank you, I am glad you are here. A new year of adventures is awaiting in the garden!

[@cheechee7890]

I love this little path. How darling

[@AJsGreenThumbLLC]

Great use of space Olga! The walkway looks wonderful, great job!

[@deewinston5651]

You did a great job. You have such a gift to make something beautiful from the things, like stones, and limbs, and of course plants and flowers. Your yard is so very lovely. Thank you Olga for sharing.❤

[@OlgaCarmody]

My pleasure!

[@daiseegray9110]

❤️ love it!🌼🐝

[@beccab7522]

Looks beautiful! Those stones are fairly pricey from landscapers. I had a path done a few years ago with some other huge boulders & outcrop stones for my backyard. At that time they were between $40 & $55 per flagstone. You have a little goldmine there! Rocks & stones are so fun, and looks so lovely. Really adds so much character to your garden!! Beautiful

[@OlgaCarmody]

You are right, those stones can be prohibitively expensive. Mine were free to take and bring home, a goldmine! Thank you!

[@boldpicturesgardeners]

Beautiful ❤

[@annadavis6361]

Love love love! 🙏🏽

[@rachellleleux7463]

Absolutely lovely Olga!

[@cindym6065]

Pretty pathway!

[@DianeMcgowan-ps8qc]

You're going to wear me out, Mrs. O! Now realize I'm 67 years old, but I think a good Winter rest and I'll be good to go next year with a new path for my garden. . .thanks for the tip about it not being too narrow. Now let's see, I'll be 68 next year- - -yep I think I can make it.

[@OlgaCarmody]

I think good winter rest will give us all a nice break and next year, let's see, you are going to be 68, me 47, we will have all the energy in the world to go out and lay those stones!

[@user-ti9by7bh8r]

Thank you!

[@rbthegardennannyllc4219]

I am wanting to do a pathway into my new vegetable garden. I love the slat pathway you made. It looks really easy. I love Ajuga. Nice putting the Boxwood over to the side until you need them. Getting them on sale as well. Olga it looks lovely. Thanks for sharing.

[@shirleynall9048]

Love your new path!

[@arianaconnor8208]

Inspirational thank you 😊

[@centaurialpha7527]

Good job🎉

[@pakistanpakistani7869]

Beautiful pathway and beautiful plants.

[@lulu6618]

Lovely video. Please don’t let your kids run on your new path. We had one like yours and my son suffered a bad freak accident. He fell and cut his knee so deeply. Emergency surgery and over 100 stitches later. His knee cap was saved. Oddly his jeans were not ripped! Thank you

[@elmaelmar2761]

Love love love!! I just did a path and planted some time!! Looks so amazing!!

[@InspireGardenNature]

Super upload🎉

[@OlgaCarmody]

Thank you 👍

[@quailhollow7955]

So beautiful! I also love ajuga for this type of area. It does so well in my garden. You did a gorgeous job. I garden on Cape Cod, so in a similar climate. I copy your ideas a lot! ❤

[@karolinapater2701]

That looks adorable! Could you post something about rejuvenation of gnarly rose bush?

[@OlgaCarmody]

Just posted a video for you. Check it out!

[@IRONWEED_]

Looks great! Since the tree roots didn't allow for the usual ground prep, I am curious whether over time the stones will be swallowed up and reclaimed by the earth? Maybe lifting the stones every few years and adding fresh gravel or sand would help with this?

[@BarbaraPruitt-hh2hl]

I went to a granite company one day at a yard sale and they had broken pieces of granite and I got a lot and made a walkway out of it it's been down for years and still looks good

[@OlgaCarmody]

Yes, those stones can serve our feet for years. Glad your pathway is looking good after a long time!

[@BarbaraPruitt-hh2hl]

@@OlgaCarmody yes I am loving your pathway

[@irishughes8517]

Such a lovely pathway. You are so creative, I look forward to see this area develop over the next year.

[@shirleyr5867]

Hi, Olga, I was thinking to add some new soil around an old large pine tree in my front yard. The soil has badly deteriorated from rain water pooling around the tree roots causing a lot of them to become exposed. My front yard slopes out to the sidewalk so the water holds heavily in that area. My concern is that the tree roots will weaken to the point of the tree eventually falling. But you are saying that new soil should not be added around an established tree base though. Would you please explain why? Thanks so much!!

[@drewzerTV]

The backgroud music sounds so familiar! What is this from?

[@drewzerTV]

the vidoe game Cities Skylines? im going mad trying to remember ha

[@michelletapsell7507]

It sounds to me like the score of the recent Masterpiece Theater "All Creatures Great and Small" but I'm sure that is not available due to copyrighting. But it's so similar. Just beautiful.

[@cyhomer]

I would love to hear your lovely voice, instead of the comflicting background music.

[@antoniamaldonado2343]

The yews are very over grown as well as the cone shape tree. They make your house look small. I would trim or replant them. Just my opinion.
